We had a blast at this years "Briggs/Staten" campout. The grandma's planned a bunch of really fun activities for the kids, such as painting rocks (we'll deny it if the forest service comes calling) and then spray painting them so we could find them in the dark with our flash lights for the olympic games. We also had our annual Easter egg hunt that the kids LOVED and then we played olympic games in the dark as well as the traditional candy bar games where yes, I stole candy from a little girl (in my defense the red hots looked too good to pass up)
Ethan, as always, got to see Mckenzie and had an absolute blast playing in the water with her (I was not as happy about him playing in the water)
We also had an incident with a pot gut. Easton shot one with his air soft gun, which injured it enough that it couldn't run away and all the kids were crowding around it to see one up close. So I told Ethan that I didn't want him getting near it because it could bite him. Well the pot gut got a second wind and started running away from the other kids (which happened to be in the direction of where Ethan was standing) so Ethan of course got a little scared and started running away from it, but he ran in the same direction the pot gut had decided to run and Ethan ended up stepping on his head and killing it. YUCK!!
We also had Mark's little boy fall backwards into the fire pit (luckily only his coat was burned)
all in all it was a really great trip.
I even stayed for the whole two nights and 3 days!! that's a record for me :)
